Get inspired and make a difference

The charity is encouraging everybody to get involved in in the campaign between May 16 and June 16 by organising activities and events which will promote oral health within local communities.

Nigel Carter OBE, CEO of the Oral Health Foundation said: “Taking part in National Smile Month is so easy. It doesn’t necessarily involve lots of time or money, just the passion to make a difference and help promote oral health in your community. Whether it’s in your dental practice, hospital or general practice, school, pharmacy, retail outlet, workplace or even out on the streets themselves, use the campaign to educate people about the importance of good oral health.

“This year National Smile Month is celebrating its 40^th birthday and to commemorate we are aiming to bring more people than ever before together to create opportunities for supporters and organisations to help share the message of how to achieve great oral health.

“We are looking for people who can take our values and desire of oral health education and come up with fun and engaging ways to spread the word among their community.”
